Mississippi Blues Hwy 61 N - Vicksburg to Memphis Timelapse

The full, uncut but time lapsed video of the infamous Hwy 61 N from Vicksburg, Mississippi to Memphis Tennessee.. Join me as I drive through the delta and go through the following towns:
Valley Park, Onward, Carey, Rolling Fork, Nitta Yuma, Hollandale, Arcola, Leland, Shaw, Cleveland, Merigold, Shelby, Duncan, Bobo, Clarksdale, Coahoma, Lula, Dundee, Tunica, Walls & more.
US 61 is divided from the Tennessee state line to US 82 in Leland. The highway south of Vicksburg to Natchez is mostly divided and four-lane; only short sections through Port Gibson need to be upgraded.
From Natchez to the Louisiana state line, US 61 is now divided and four lanes. The Mississippi Department of Transportation is now upgrading the highway between Vicksburg and Leland to four lanes, beginning with replacement of the Yazoo River bridge at Redwood in Warren County.
The road is also known as the Blues Highway because it runs through the Mississippi Delta country, which was an important source of blues music. Highway 61 has been referenced in music by various artists with roots in the region.
The junction of US 61 and US 49 in Clarksdale is designated as the famous crossroads where, according to legend, Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for mastery of the blues. It was on this stretch of highway that blues singer Bessie Smith died as a result of a car accident on September 26, 1937.
